It was, and I find it fascinating this was the first year of Rush Limbaugh. While there are many factors for the world being the way it is now (and yes, insane) he is one of the major reasons why. That divisive punditry and fear mongering (now a gigantic industry with MANY participants) has done so much damage to the US population, I wonder if we'll ever recover.
I was 12 years old. It was maybe the best year of my life. Such a perfect simple life. We rode bikes everywhere, bought my first BMX bike (mongoose) with a rotor and front/back pegs, inspired by the movie “Rad”. Loved roger rabbit too.
1988... I graduated high school in San Diego and started college. It was the last time I saw my friends/classmates. Somehow, I could feel change was in the air as we all rolled towards the 90s...
Ah yes...1988. The year I was married and settled down in to what could only be described as a routine life. Like a lot of people have commented about the 1980's....I too think back on the years from 1981 through 1988 as the best years of my life. (Have been married to the same lady for 34 years come October)!

I would give anything to go back to the 1980's. I was 24 for most of 1988. I traded in my Volkswagen bug for a convertible Suzuki Samurai. Nope! Didn't roll once. I never took it off road. I had fun fun fun! I had so much fun that I forgot to get married. Wups! Oh well . . .
I was 8 the entire year in 1988 except for on New Year's Eve I turned 9. I remember a whole lot from this year. The music was awesome! Takes me back to being a kid with my parents and siblings. ❤
1988 was the best year of my life. Started high school...started dating my high school girl friend....best music and movies...hanging out with friends.....if I had a time machine, that would be the year I'd go back to.
That was a great year, I graduated from high school and started college. Also registered to vote on my 18th birthday. Got my first license right before my birthday. It was a great year.
You left out Game 1 of the 1988 World Series, on October 15, 1988, at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles between the LA Dodgers and the Oakland A's. Kirk Gibson hit a game winning pinch hit home run off of Dennis Eckersley. The Dodgers went on to pull off the upset winning the World Series 4 games to 1.
@@1985OldSkool Truly a classic moment in MLB history as we got to watch a guy who could barely walk hobble around those bases in victory! Vin Scully's call "wasn't so bad" either! I like that he let the scene do the talking. Lasorda jumping for joy is priceless. The A's leaving their dugout looked DOA.
I sincerely laughed at that old billboard in the pic! Whether you were a fan of his or not; yes, I do think everyone wanted to punch Rush at some point. He was certainly one of a kind.
I visited Lockerbie a couple years ago. No sign of the "gouge" in town now. The memorial is still visited regularly with lots of flowers. I was there right at sunset in between Christmas and New Year's. Stormy, windy, rainy, and snow and sleet. Eerie, but peaceful. RIP. Very much worth visiting, still burned in my mind. Sat for a long time in a little chip shop afterward wondering how a plane could fall out of the sky and land smack dab in a little village. Then talked a long bit with a local shop owner about it. She was very greatful I remembered all these years later even though I have no connection, just memories. I love Scotland.
Against strong American objections, Scotland released the Lockerbie bomber in 2009 for "compassionate reasons" since he was diagnosed with cancer. The Scots believed the bomber only had months to live but he ended up living another 3 years. When the bomber returned to Libya he was given a hero's welcome. It was later revealed that the bomber was released as part of a deal to get BP (British Petroleum) a favorable oil contract with Libya.

I don't mind if the ads are helping to monetize people, but you have to remember, the ads are just like TV ads; there are certain ones that are annoying. Some of the Tik-Tok ones for ex.
I don't remember the exact date, but Nick, Jr., famous preschool block of the already-famous Nickelodeon, premiered this year. Sharon, Lois & Bram's Elephant Show was the only OG Nick, Jr. show I watched as a kid, mostly growing up with the circa 1994 rebrand shows, notably The Busy World Of Richard Scarry and whatever shows co-aired on Noggin after 1999. I actually remember watching the Geraldo Rivera clip on RUclips many years ago when I was a teenager. My late dad and one of my brothers thought it was hilarious. It certainly set the path for Jerry Springer's stupidity.
I remember that by 1988, records were pretty much phased out at many department stores in favor of cassettes. And of course, CD's were slowly starting to gain traction (even though they had been out since 1982), and many stores had a small but growing CD section
JUNE 28: Legendary NY Rap group PUBLIC ENEMY releases their seminal sophomore lp, "IT TAKES A NATION OF MILLIONS TO HOLD US BACK" on DEF JAM/CBS records. The album would go on to become a certified classic among many as it captivated music listeners outside of its primary rap audience; Combining militant yet streetwise political and social commentary with a unique multi-layered sound of samples and drums. The album contains hits such as, "BRING THE NOISE", "DON'T BELIEVE THE HYPE", "NIGHT OF THE LIVING BASEHEADS", "BLACK STEEL IN THE HOUR OF CHAOS", and "REBEL WITHOUT A PAUSE". AUGUST 6: MTV employee/program director TED DEMME produces and premieres the classic video show, "YO! MTV RAPS". The program, hosted by ex graffiti artist/personality Fred Braithwaite p/k/a FAB 5 FREDDY, and later, DR. DRE and ED LOVER, played a significant role in having Hip-Hop culture spread among viewers/listeners in suburban areas and around the world; Outside of primary Hip-Hop audiences. DECEMBER: TOMMY MOTTOLA, then president of Sony Music/Columbia Records, signs an 18 year old former background singer/aspiring solo artist MARIAH CAREY to a major record deal. She would release her debut lp two years later and go on to become a legendary Pop/R&B superstar.
A great year for Horror movie sequels: Halloween 4, Friday the 13th Part 7, A Nightmare On Elm Street Part 4, Hellbound Hellraiser II, Phantasm II and the first in a line of Chucky movies in Child's Play.
This was also the year that cracks started to show in rock-and-roll. Remember White Lion, and Warrant? Guns-n-Roses and Skid Row tried to save it, but their efforts were in vain. This was also the year that Mr. Big formed as a band, and they would go on to put the last nail in the coffin of metal rock and glam rock.
Record company's executive are the ones that change the music industry they do what ever they want. All of those bands made more albums but they never got any air time because radio stations were told not to play them. I know first hand how dirty they are.

I turned 20 in 1980. Got married for the first time in ‘85. I miss how we used to dress. When we went out, we all dressed well. “Sharp Dressed Man” was my mantra. I guess that’s why I love Italy so much, even casual they are well dressed. I remember being at clubs and everything would stop when the videos “Beat It”, “Billy Jean”, and “Thriller” would come on, and everyone was trying to Moonwalk. “Miami Vice” ruled the airwaves, and set the standards for both how men dressed and the future of cop shows.
I remember watching Die Hard when it first aired. It was amazing and I have loved Bruce Willis ever since. I also had a crush on Allan Rickman. I thought he was so handsome.

This year in England we had the dreadful 'Piper Alpha' oil-rig disaster, and the awful Clapham Common train accident, Liverpool were runaway league champions, Wimbledon, against all odds, won the F.A. Cup, Luton Town were surprising League Cup winners. And 'all-day' drinking in Public Houses was introduced!
I was 8 years old in 1988. I remember it well including the news of PanAm 103. Just terrible. Other than that, great year to be a kid. Transformers and Legos were my life!
Did you ever think we would miss the 80s? Our world today has gone insane.

The year 1988, and that was my third year working at Kmart. And, Kmart 's owner has been the Kmart Corporation.The Kmart Corporation has been closing stores in the 1980's, the 1990's. When, Kmart and Sear's both merged, which was a mistake. I miss both Kmart and Sear's.
I always loved K-Mart far more than wal , guess I was was in my minority clearly !

Please everyone, let the ads run on videos you like, don't skip. Great way to help content provider.
How about you watch them for all of us lol?
Do not do DRUG's
I don't mind if the ads are helping to monetize people, but you have to remember, the ads are just like TV ads; there are certain ones that are annoying.
Some of the Tik-Tok ones for ex.
Turned 18 in 1988. Graduated from high school. Got my first car. Life was good.

I don't remember the exact date, but Nick, Jr., famous preschool block of the already-famous Nickelodeon, premiered this year.
Sharon, Lois & Bram's Elephant Show was the only OG Nick, Jr. show I watched as a kid, mostly growing up with the circa 1994 rebrand shows, notably The Busy World Of Richard Scarry and whatever shows co-aired on Noggin after 1999.
I actually remember watching the Geraldo Rivera clip on RUclips many years ago when I was a teenager. My late dad and one of my brothers thought it was hilarious. It certainly set the path for Jerry Springer's stupidity.
If you haven't seen or heard it before look up Weird Al Yankovic's parody called Jerry Springer.
The Elephant Show was my favorite! I turned 1 in 1988.
I remember that by 1988, records were pretty much phased out at many department stores in favor of cassettes. And of course, CD's were slowly starting to gain traction (even though they had been out since 1982), and many stores had a small but growing CD section
It now seems that vinyl LPs are making a comeback.
@@allenjones3130 They are indeed, but nowadays it's more of a niche market
JUNE 28: Legendary NY Rap group PUBLIC ENEMY releases their seminal sophomore lp, "IT TAKES A NATION OF MILLIONS TO HOLD US BACK" on DEF JAM/CBS records. The album would go on to become a certified classic among many as it captivated music listeners outside of its primary rap audience; Combining militant yet streetwise political and social commentary with a unique multi-layered sound of samples and drums. The album contains hits such as, "BRING THE NOISE", "DON'T BELIEVE THE HYPE", "NIGHT OF THE LIVING BASEHEADS", "BLACK STEEL IN THE HOUR OF CHAOS", and "REBEL WITHOUT A PAUSE".
AUGUST 6: MTV employee/program director TED DEMME produces and premieres the classic video show, "YO! MTV RAPS". The program, hosted by ex graffiti artist/personality Fred Braithwaite p/k/a FAB 5 FREDDY, and later, DR. DRE and ED LOVER, played a significant role in having Hip-Hop culture spread among viewers/listeners in suburban areas and around the world; Outside of primary Hip-Hop audiences.
DECEMBER: TOMMY MOTTOLA, then president of Sony Music/Columbia Records, signs an 18 year old former background singer/aspiring solo artist MARIAH CAREY to a major record deal. She would release her debut lp two years later and go on to become a legendary Pop/R&B superstar.
A great year for Horror movie sequels: Halloween 4, Friday the 13th Part 7, A Nightmare On Elm Street Part 4, Hellbound Hellraiser II, Phantasm II and the first in a line of Chucky movies in Child's Play.
Man forget the internet and technology altogether. I'd give anything to go back to the 80s. Who still holds the title of the best decade!!!
This was also the year that cracks started to show in rock-and-roll. Remember White Lion, and Warrant? Guns-n-Roses and Skid Row tried to save it, but their efforts were in vain. This was also the year that Mr. Big formed as a band, and they would go on to put the last nail in the coffin of metal rock and glam rock.
I was into tesla lol... Not the car, not the rocket, not the scientist. 🎶 🎸
I wish someone would put the nail in the coffin of hip hop and rap
@@stephensandiford3981 oh my stars u went there lol 😲
@@1970boobear it is a public service announcement
Record company's executive are the ones that change the music industry they do what ever they want. All of those bands made more albums but they never got any air time because radio stations were told not to play them. I know first hand how dirty they are.

I turned 20 in 1980. Got married for the first time in ‘85. I miss how we used to dress. When we went out, we all dressed well. “Sharp Dressed Man” was my mantra. I guess that’s why I love Italy so much, even casual they are well dressed.
I remember being at clubs and everything would stop when the videos “Beat It”, “Billy Jean”, and “Thriller” would come on, and everyone was trying to Moonwalk.
“Miami Vice” ruled the airwaves, and set the standards for both how men dressed and the future of cop shows.
To quote Last Man Standing, "What's a Dukakis?"
I was in the 3rd grade back in 88.
I remember when they started showing Yo MTV Raps and Bobby brown album Don't Be Cruel came out
I remember watching Die Hard when it first aired. It was amazing and I have loved Bruce Willis ever since. I also had a crush on Allan Rickman. I thought he was so handsome.
Actor David White’s son died in the Pan Am crash.
